Best Regional in the East

Ed, you've identified one skew for the events. Here's a few more:

1) the age of the Regional (the younger Finger Lakes scores quite well against grandfather New Jersey -- give it a few more years)

2) the number of different teams who have attended the specific regional over the years (VCU is a large regional, Pittsburgh is smaller, so even if they were equal in age, VCU should receive more raw votes just due to the fact that more teams would pass through)

As Ed says, "Best" is a poor descriptor for this judgement. "Favorite" would be a better one.

My favorite is always "The Next One!"
